A superb late-career Lester Young collection featuring the legendary tenor saxophonist in a relaxed small-group setting with Jesse Drakes, Kenny Drew, Aaron Bell, and Joe Jones. Recorded in New York in 1952, the program includes standards such as “Pennies from Heaven,” “Stardust,” “Mean to Me,” and “On the Sunny Side of the Street.” This Charlie Parker Records mono gatefold pressing is an attractive piece of classic jazz vinyl centered on one of the defining saxophonists of the swing era.
